Do you want to save money and make a positive impact on the environment?
Make the switch to LED light bulbs today. There really is something for everyone.
The price of LED light bulbs has fallen considerably since the technology was first introduced to the market so now is the time to take advantage of their new lost costs and make some massive energy savings too.
While LED light bulbs are still more expensive to buy than traditional incandescent light bulbs, they can save you a considerable amount of money over their lifetime.
The considerably longer lifespans and energy-saving properties of LED light bulbs mean that the upfront cost of upgrading to them can be recouped in a matter of months. And once they’re in, they won’t need to be replaced for years.
To show you just how much money LED light bulbs could save you, we have compared an LED product with a traditional incandescent equivalent. The LED light bulb is a 60W equivalent Crompton Lamps LED 8.5W GLS E27 and the incandescent is a standard 60W GLS pearl E27.
The first cost to consider is for the light bulbs themselves. The LED light bulb has an average rated life of about 15,000 hours, while the incandescent lasts for only 1,000 hours. That means you would need to buy 15 incandescent light bulbs for the same life as just one LED light bulb.
So while the LED light bulb costs a lot more per light bulb, over its life it is incredibly cost-effective.
Next to consider is the energy needed to power each light bulb. The LED light bulb is incredibly energy-efficient, producing the same light as an incandescent with only a fraction of the power. In this case, the LED light bulb uses only 8.5 watts of power, compared to the 60 watts that the incandescent light bulb uses.
Thanks to the long life and the energy efficiency of the LED light bulb, in this example it would take less than six months to recoup the upfront cost of buying it. In fact, the total cost of buying and running the LED light bulb over its 15,000-hour life would be less than just the cost of buying the equivalent 15 incandescent light bulbs.

Over the life of the light bulb, it amounts to an impressive LED saving of approximately £113. Multiply that by the number of light bulbs in a typical home and the potential savings are massive.
